Stop & think

Face Facts

We start out with good intentions. In fact Australia has a great back seatbelt wearing rate of 92% (Department of Infrastructure and Transport, 2014) and parents go even better than that to ensure their kids are buckled up at the start of a journey. But once you're out on the road it's impossible to have eyes in the back of your head.

Did you know?

76.4%

of drivers with children in the car will either try to keep an eye on them in the rear view mirror or even turn around to check.

50%

of parents reported at least one of their children had managed to unbuckle their seatbelt at some point. 40% did so while the car was moving.

INSIDE OUT

Contrary to popular misconception, more children are seriously injured as passengers in cars compared to pedestrians on the road. (Centre for Road Safety, Transport for NSW, 2014).

MUMS SAY

Of all the mothers surveyed as part of the BuckleMeUp usability study conducted in 2014, all of them could personally recall a time when their own child unbuckled their seatbelt without permission.

28%

In Australia, approximately 28% of drivers and passenger fatalities in car accidents were not wearing seatbelts (ATC-NRSS 2011-2020).
